Vault Tales Run the Set 124 Safari Dinosaur Skulls TOOB

A bunch of dinosaur heads! Note the range in size--because there is no way these are all to scale! Instead of trying to find appropriate human figures I'm leaning into it with our Jurassic World trio checking them out in the garden. We're back with yet another Run the Set, this time the Safari Ltd Dinosaur Skulls toob. You may recall way back near the beginning of this blog I wrote an individual post about just one of the skulls,…

Vault Tales Run the Set 115 Safari Monarch Butterfly Life Cycle

This post will be short because, in all honesty, I don't have much to say about it! It is one of the Life Cycles made by Safari Ltd as part of their Safariology line--toys and models meant to act as educational guides as well as toys. This one features a pretty well-known cycle, that of the Monarch Butterfly. Being a cycle, we will start at the 'beginning'. Here we have the eggs on the left (sculpted on a milkweed leaf,…

Vault Tales Run the Set 113 Safari Trees TOOB

It's the whole set of trees! Evenly split between angiosperms and gymnosperms if you're curious. With a Safari Ltd mini bison. Back with another Run the Set! This time I'm going to go over the entire Safari Treess toob, set 684304. I talked about one of the figures...or two of them, because of different colours, about a year ago, the maple trees. There isn't a whole lot to add to that post, honestly. They're trees! They...stand there (as toys). Four…

Vault Tales Run the Set 111 ToyFishFactory American Angler Collection

It's a set of fish! popular American angling fish no less! We're back with a Run the Set again, this time the American Angler collection from Toy Fish Factory. I know I've talked about the TFF line at some point--I think in the old version of the blog. Since then, of course, the purpose of the site and how I discuss things has changed. But in case you don't want to go read an old thing, here's a quick run…

Vault Tales Run the Set 108 CollectA Dinosaurs MiniBox 1

All 12 figures from Dinosaurs set 1. I personally think we might be due for a couple more. So we're back already with another Run the Set! This time we'll look at a much more recent one, a box made up of miniature versions of some of the CollectA Deluxe and Standard dinosaurs. This is box set 1, released in 2016 under the catalog number A1101. Set two was released at the same time--giving us 20 small versions of CollectA…

Vault Tales Run the Set 107 Kaiyodo CocaCola JPIII Dinosaurs

All of the Kaiyodo Jurassic Park III dinosaurs. 11/12 are in perfect, shiny condition... Way, way, way back I wrote about a special release Kaiyodo dinosaur model--a Spinosaurus skull from their Jurassic Park III + Coca Cola promotion (almost exactly 100 posts ago!). Now, the Random Number Generator has selected other figures from the series, so why not look at them all together? It's another Run the Set! Two classic herbivores that made appearances in earlier movies too. The Triceratops…

Vault Tales Run the Set 105 Feves Prehistoric animals

This post is another Run the Set, although I don't think it's really a full set--just all of the figures I have that would be included. Here we have a number of prehistoric animals produced by Feves. Or called Feves...I'm not really sure if it's a brand or a style. I know that they are originally based on prizes or treats that are placed in cakes during Epiphany. They get their name 'Feves' from the French word for 'bean'--maybe those…

Vault Tales Run the Set 101 Safari Mammal Skulls toob

The whole set of skulls. These are not to scale So we're back with another Run the Set again, heading for a second hundred posts! After writing up the last one I really like the way that format worked especially for these kinds of picture-heavy posts. So I am going to go with this kind of format. The thumbnail galleries and small pictures look better to me, I hope it looks good to you too. Safari toob Hippopotamus and Rhinoceros…

Vault Tales Run the Set 100 The FaunaFiguresFishes!

Welcome to post 100! A milestone number! And I thought I should do something different, and kind of special--so I will go over all of the figures from my original line of fish figures, made for my store! The FaunaFiguresFishes were sculpted and cast for by a sculptor named Brandon DeMoss. The first of the original waves were produced in 2016, the last one came out in late 2018. A couple of other figures were later produced in a new…

Vault tales Run the Set 89 Innovative Kids Groovy Tubes Mythical Beasts

What is this? Another Run the Set already!? Exciting! This is a bit of a weird departure. I don't often discuss fantasy or mythical animals here, as I don't generally collect them much now--but I would take advantage of unique sets when they appear. For example, as you can see from the photo of the box, it was super discounted! And it has some interesting models--plus a book and a game. A very simple, lame game. Only $10! I'd have…

Vault tales Run the Set 78 COG Fascinating Fossils

What is this? Another Run the Set already!? It really is, with another take on prehistoric figures from COG. In this instance it's a lot of fake fossils, just like the Safari Ancient Fossils toob. Does it hold up? What are these? These models are from a COG Ltd series called Ein-O-Science, small, inexpensive science-lab kits that provided small science experiments or activities on all kinds of fields of study. In our home we've had ones regarding electricity, renewable energy,…

Vault tales Run the Set 73 Iwako Prehistoric erasers

What is this? Well, it's another Run the Set! This time, a selection of erasers from Japan by a company called Iwako. There is no way that I have all of them, but I do have a pretty interesting variety of species among them. What are these? As I said, they are erasers. Of some pretty strange taxa, to be honest. Anyone familiar with browsing Japanese auction sites, etc, will be familiar with the range of collectable erasers available there.…
